The Thar 4WD, launched amid much fanfare in 2020, now comes with an advanced electronic brake locking differential. But the price difference between the 4WD and RWD is likely to make the newer variants more popular still. For instance, the most-affordable Thar Diesel AX(O) 4X2 MT at ₹9.99 lakh is around ₹4.15 lakh cheaper than the Thar Diesel AC(O) 4X4 MT variant which is at ₹14.15 lakh. Similarly, the Thar Petrol LX 4X2 AT at ₹13.49 lakh is around ₹2.33 lakh more affordable than the Thar LX 4X4 AT.
